The technical details of a suit are a tailor's job. Any man who is not a tailor and wants to be considered a tailor, is a geek and further cannot possibly understand the overall picture of clothing and style.

Not really, I am not singling anyone out. I simply find it uncomfortable how much certain members study mens...
